Team Building in Birmingham FAQs
We do. Team building runs across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands, out to Solihull, Wolverhampton, Coventry and Dudley. We bring the day to you, so wherever your people sit, we can be there.
Wherever works for you. Many indoor activities slot straight into your own meeting room or office, kit included. When you need more space or want to be outdoors, our free venue finding service secures a Birmingham venue, from central rooms to bigger sites around the West Midlands.
In Birmingham it is the creative sessions that lead, pizza making first, then chocolate making and dance classes, with the ultimate treasure hunt close behind. The table above explains what each one is and the kind of team it suits.
Yes, at no charge to you. Our venue finding service pairs your group, date and activity with the right Birmingham space. We take a commission from the venue rather than a fee from you, so you pay exactly what you would booking direct.
It comes down to the activity, your group size and the length of the day, with the lowest-priced Birmingham options from around £18 per person. Your quote spells out the full cost, normally within half an hour, so there are no surprises later.
Most last two to three hours, and several can be combined into a half or full day. We build the schedule around yours, whether you want a short burst after a meeting or a full away day.
From half a dozen up to several hundred. Nearly everything we run adjusts to your headcount, and we bring the staff and equipment to suit. Give us your numbers and we will recommend the best fit.
A few weeks gives us plenty of room, and the summer and Christmas rush fills up soonest, so book those early. Shorter notice is often fine too, so it is always worth an ask.
For bigger numbers, the ultimate treasure hunt or a corporate sports day work nicely, breaking into teams so everyone is in on it. We will tailor the format to your group and venue.
Plenty. Much of our range is fully indoor, from pizza and chocolate making to gameshows and casino evenings, so a cold or wet day makes no difference. Birmingham winter events run just as smoothly as summer ones.
Regularly. Birmingham is one of our most-booked team building cities, with a steady stream of events and glowing reviews from teams across the region. Share your numbers and we will suggest ideas that have gone down well locally.
Fully Insured & ABTA Members (Y6501) – every event is insured and risk assessed.

Reviews for Birmingham
6th June 2018

5th April 2018
A really good event thanks that everyone enjoyed. We thought it was good value and was perfect for what we were looking for.
15th December 2017
The event was great fun. We were well away especially my team who were very competitive, the other team just made it to a pub and didn’t move!! Loved the interactive score board and being able to send messages. We all said we would love to do it again, when the weather is warmer though as our works do was when we had that really cold weather so we were glad of the pub stops (any excuse
12th December 2017
We really enjoyed it – it was very cold and snowy so couldn’t complete as much as we’d of liked to. Great fun for everyone in our team, thank you!
8th November 2017
The chain reaction team building event was excellent and enjoyed by all the conference attendees.
20th September 2017
It all went very smoothly, overall a thoroughly enjoyable day!
12th September 2017
The feedback from the rest of the team was extremely positive!
7th July 2017
We had a great afternoon out – some of us (my team if I’m honest) took it far too seriously so felt we had a moral victory – it brought out a freakishly competitive streak in far too many of my colleagues. I’ll see if I can get some photos – but we have had really positive feedback (and some very funny stories).
